Fix these bugs — the app isn’t reliable right now. ### 4/5 — Potential *2025-09-06* This app has a lot of potential but I’m concerned due to lack of staff involvement in these reviews. With telegram banning random accounts actively this has been my best alternative however if the owner doesn’t start making improvements and updates soon this app will fall fast. ### 2/5 — SLOW/BUGGY *2025-09-04, version 2.47.207051* It does the job. But it’s just a very slow, buggy, not as cool version of the Goat Telegram. ### 2/5 — The Frank Truth *2025-09-01* Lets be honest here, the chat/encryption itself is fine, now let’s talk about the channel interface, I think Potato really pushed out the app and decided to not put in full effort here. I switched from Telegram to Potato since mid 2024, and I really miss having GIFs and Telegram Premium, and cool emojis. Let’s say you run a clothing line on Potato and you try to focus on marketing, how are we ever going to make our customers intrigued? There’s nothing on Potato that is truly eye catching like emojis, profile status, or anything of that sort. Now Im going to talk about Potato’s interface, I have around 200 channels im in, 100+ DMs, and STILL. NO FOLDERS. Telegram really makes it easier for everything. From looks and styles to organization. This app is nice, but inconvenient. So please add some updates, add what we want. And we can all be happy! ### 3/5 — update *2025-08-29, version 2.47.207051* decent substitute for telegram, needs edit options for messages. doesn’t make sense to delete and repost just to edit a message ### 4/5 — Lagging *2025-08-29* Hasn’t been bad up until a couple days ago I’ll be in my channel posting or sending my channel out and it’ll just cut out to the Home Screen I don’t understand why but other than that it’s good ### 4/5 — Take Potato Chat Seriously *2025-08-20, version 2.47.207050* The app has crazy potential — crypto deposits, VIP features, rare usernames, verified accounts — but the “showgirl cam” in Discovery makes it feel like a joke. If you want Potato Chat to compete with Telegram or Discord, remove that clutter and double down on what makes this app unique. Contact me on @Cheese if you want real feedback from someone who actually uses Potato more than Telegram. ### 2/5 — CHNAEL LINKS ARE ALWAYS HAVING ISSUES *2025-08-18* Nice app but Chanel links are always having issues it won’t let me join try to join some particular channels but it won’t let me join till date because I’d the Chanel link no matter how you change the links is still not working. Do everything possible to work on channel links it is very important mordant 50% of Chanel links are not working ### 4/5 — Good app wish it was easier to invite people and was a bit more seamless *2025-08-15* A lot people complain about quality just post your pic/vid as a file only complaint I got is that’s it a little difficult to join from a invite link sometimes and the sign up process wish it was more seamless ### 2/5 — Potato app no longer opening *2025-08-12, version 2.47.207050* Recently, my potato app stopped working, it doesn't even open to display the list, every time I click on it on my phone, it opens and then immediately disappears. ### 3/5 — Channels/ Groups notifications *2025-08-11* Since i downloaded this App(IOS) on my phone last year, i don't receive notifications from Groups/Channels when the app is not opened. I only receive notifications when the app is open. It looks like background refresh doesn't work for Channels/Groups unless the app is open. ### 4/5 — Iraq *2025-08-10, version 2.47.207050* Salm ### 2/5 — Remove showgirls live from discovery card *2025-07-27, version 2.47.207050* Remove the showgirls cam live stuff from the discovery section it forces pedos and creapy old men on this app and this app is to good for that cmon now this isn’t a dating site it’s a end to end encryption message app like telegram ### 3/5 — Link issues *2025-07-25, version 2.47.207050* I like the the app already but I shared links on Facebook and my contacts find it difficult to access my channel via Facebook messenger it’s very frustrating please can you work on that ### 3/5 — Chats *2025-07-16, version 2.47.207050* Make it so you can edit all chats and messages ### 4/5 — EDIT POST *2025-07-15* You can't edit post in a channel after a very short amount of time, for a channel where your broadcasting to a bunch of people, it's best to want to edit a post rather than deleting and reposting and changing the format of a channel, just to tweak a part of a long message that stays in a channel. The updates for this app are amazing and unlocking its full potential ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor IT help *2025-09-03, version 2.47.207051* App has bugs and I’ve tried to seek help but there are no resources and they do not contact you and assist. ### 1/5 — Trash customer support *2025-08-21, version 2.47.207050* My app crashes the second i try to upload/ send media. i’ve deleted the app reinstalled done every possible. i’ve contacted customer service the past 3 days in a row with no response. time to find another app i would give 0 stars if possible. get signal ### 1/5 — crashes *2025-08-18, version 2.47.207050* app crashes and lags out a lot ### 1/5 — 只骗中国人的金融诈骗软件 *2025-08-18, version 2.47.207050* 国窖传奇伟青相团队依靠此软件进行金融理财诈骗，已经反馈到此软件，但是软件不作为，依然放任诈骗团伙继续坑害中国人 ### 1/5 — Worthless app *2025-08-17, version 2.47.207050* Extremely annoying, says 8-20 for a password but I have tried a thousand different options and doesn’t work.
